If you are the only computer on the network behind the router you really do not need
to be using the ICF firewall [though no harm to leave it enabled] as unlike some
software firewalls such as Zone Alarm or Sygate it does not manage outbound traffic.
If you have other computers on your network and they do not need to access your
computer then I would leave it enabled in case one on them gets a virus or
rm. --- Steve
